your engine isnt streeted enough to run hot..........its probably a mix of near lean running/on the edge ignition curves and a coolant system full of crapola.

They dont do much.........

Do Valvers and the like have Oil Cooler Rads like on the 1.9 Pug?

Some early F engines have an oil cooler, but not oil cooler Rads as such..

Mine has a cooler that fits on between the block and Oil filter..

Ive also seen bolt on heat sinks that wrapp around the the oil filter - though I dont know how effective they are - and if you risk damaging the filter....

On my pug I used to run a fairly high concentration of Anti freeze in the water as well as it has much better heat discipating properties than water!

Just a though...

Personally I would opt for the low stat as the valver usually runs on 2/3 temp all the time but I would defo get one if my car was tuned after all I wouldnt want to fry the engine by overheating it.
